Why should you be whitelisted?

I have had a long history of being a commander on Colonial Marines and have a record of over two dozen wins with only four losses while at the helm of the marine forces. I have had considerable experience in other command roles including XO, BO, SL, and RO. In real life I am working on my application seeking an appointment to the United States Naval Academy with the intent of obtaining a commission as a United States Marine Corps officer. I have spent ten years studying military history and tactics. In light of this application to the Academy I have very little time to play on Colonial Marines however I would like to spend what little time I have available for CM leading the marines to victory. Thank you for your consideration of this application.

Military knowledge is certainly useful but doesn't necessarily apply to a 2d spessman game.

In any case I haven't seen much of you, so I'll hold off on voting for now.

[XenonDragneel]

Right... I need more people to question you... though... I can't remove vote but I'll like to remain neutral.

Imaginary situation:
You are a commander, 3/4 your squads have SLs that are more or less decent (Delta never had one), you have two BO's.
Cargo is busy redecorating with wooden floors, and are not resupplying your engaged troops.
What do you do?

[conquerer181]

Send one of the BO's to tell cargo to get it together under threat of a General Court Marshall. After doing this he is to remain there until the troops on the ground are resupplied. Have the other BO babysit Delta squad making sure that the specialist is wearing the SL helmet. While the BO's do those tasks I watch the other three squads. While this is happening order all of the squads to fall back to one position so that they can provide mutual support until resupply. Once the force is resupplied have all four squads advance and take the next position. Once this is accomplished have Delta squad remain at the newly captured/recaptured position establishing it as a FOB. The BO that was sent to Cargo come back to the Bridge and take command of Alpha and Bravo squads. Once that BO has command of their squads I will stay in command of Charlie squad. Once this has been done the operation will continue with Alpha and Bravo squad taking objectives with flanking support from Charlie squad. Delta will fortify the most recently taken objective and use it as a FOB. If cargo fails again they will be imprisoned and their role will be filled by MPs until such a time where the MPs are needed more. If such an occasion arises then cargo will be released under the watch of an MP to perform their job.

Considering your training to be a Marine Corp officer, plus your solution to Cargonia is both realistic and pretty damn proactive, consider this a +1 fro me.

Though I'm not a great commander myself, also I haven't seen you before, sadly. I saw your response to the situation that Dyne had asked you to respond to, you added a bit more then necessary, saying how you'll play ect, ect. This wasn't necessarily needed, but it shows that you'll go above duty, even though you won't be on too often, I feel when you are on, you'll be a good commander. +1

[DankAnimemes]

I have never seen you in-game
-1

[XenonDragneel]

I have never seen you in-game
-1

Lemme make this clear. I am defending him from now on even though this guy don't talk to me a lot nor we know each other but really? "Never seen you in-game"??????

That doesn't give a +1 or a -1 if a person never seen a guy in-game... ASK him question to see if he is a competent CO or not...

Damn people need to make their mind up before typing and submitting a comments..

The marines have been pushed back to the sully xenos have control over LZ1, LZ2 however has xeno scouts running all over it so you can't perform a flanking attack without the xenos anticipating it, in the chaos of the retreat however they managed to kill the queen earning you guys five minutes, what do you in these five minutes to get the marines back planetside?

[conquerer181]

At this point in time it would be a massacre to try and retake the planet. All of this is conditional on how many marines I have at my disposal. What I would and have done in the past is have the MT's install cameras on the Rasputin. Have the marines build defenses in the hanger and prepare the ship for boarding. Send the the shuttle down in order to see if we might lure one or two aliens to investigate the strange foreign object by boarding the Rasputin. Once the cameras are destroyed or once we see several aliens on the shuttle bring it up in order to trap them in a kill-zone. Once we have thinned the numbers in this way and re-equipped and healed the marines we will launch a second offensive on the planet. As for my not having been seen on the server recently I addressed that in my original application. Due to real world goals I have very little free time available.

I haven't seen you ingame alot but if you're really ready to be CO, what does a commander always require? and here's a little test.

You're the commander, all the squads down planetside are fighting the xenomorphs and apparently 3 SL's have died so far, only one is alive and he is the only one to be able to set up beacons, he orders his overwatch's to get his supplies but apparently all the BO's are not even working, they are just hanging around around sulaco and playing,there is no XO, and cargo techs has been ordering stuff for their selves and not for marines, what would you do in this situation?

[XenonDragneel]

One final question before you are promoted to the High Commanding Officer of the vessel...

Will you play more of commanding roles(its optional but just play them once whenever you are on)? Are you willing to be respectful all-time even though if a incompetent dickhead scream shit about you, if they hate you... it's just him.. ignore him or let the MP handle him. Can you communicate all the squad at once, can you do that? Don't be a Lazy Commanding officer that just sit his ass on the chair and watch his squad die(unless your AFK)... be active on duty... your JOB as a commanding role is COMMUNICATION... it doesn't matter if your typo is fucked, but be clear and communicate ALL-TIME... are you going to do that?
